| histopathology of two philometrid parasites of the southern flounder, paralichthys lethostigma. | the southern flounder paralichthys lethostigma is host to two species of philometrid nematodes in the estuarine systems of south carolina, usa. histologic studies showed that all worms were hematophagous and that the host-parasite interface varied according to the worm's location in the fish. individuals of philometra overstreeti associated with the teeth induced a degradation of the enameloid epithelium but elicited minimal host reaction, whereas those located in the branchial arches induced an ... | 2010 | 20090044 |
| population dynamics of the philometrid nematode margolisianum bulbosum in the southern flounder paralichthys lethostigma (pisces: paralichthyidae) in south carolina, usa. | this is the first report of the philometrid nematode margolisianum bulbosum blaylock and overstreet, 1999 from the southern flounder paralichthys lethostigma on the east coast of the usa. observation of adult female worms was used as an indication of the parasite's presence in the fish. adult females were found only in p. lethostigma >50 mm total length. the overall prevalence was 74%, with a mean intensity of 5 female nematodes per parasitized fish. infected flounders were found throughout the ... | 2005 | 16042045 |
| two new species of philometrid nematodes (nematoda: philometridae) from the southern flounder paralichthys lethostigma in the estuaries of south carolina, usa. | two new philometrid nematodes, philometra overstreeti sp. n. and philometroides paralichthydis sp. n., are described from female specimens collected from the southern flounder paralichthys lethostigma jordan et gilbert (paralichthyidae, pleuronectiformes) in estuaries of south carolina, usa. p. overstreeti is characterized by the presence of eight large, equal in size cephalic papillae, the absence of caudal projections, the body length of gravid females (14.10-27.06 mm) and the location in the ... | 2006 | 16898128 |
